5 - Rome. Easily. In love with the antiquities and classics. Iganatius nerd.

1) Von Miller2) 1910, The Gilded Age and WW1 fascinate me, plus in my 30s id still be young enough to have fun during the roaring 20s. Id be 30 (my current age) when the Tribe wins the 1920 Series, by the time I am in my 40s id be mature enough to handle the Great Depression, and by 1940 Id be a senior officer in the Army just in time for WW2. 3) If I live that long, yes. 4) Head Coach: Pat Shurmer, O Coordinator:Daboll, D Coordinator: Bob Slowik5) Munich, because I have already been to Paris and Rome, and I am partial to good beer,

1. I was going to go JJ Watt, but since Peek beat me to it ill go with Clowney.

2. 70s Clearly. From what I understand the sex was easy and the worst things you could get penicillin knocked right the hell out of there. There was good music and, no matter where you stand on disco, you have to admit it would have been a hell of a fun time to live through in your 20s. (although i surely would have been one of the sad losers standing outside 54 all night without ever getting in.)

3. Sure, why not.

4. Isnt it a tie? I guess Carthon sounds right.

5. Munich. Im a beer guy. I like wine but its completely lost on me what makes quality.

1. That 800 pound guy from the Chiefs (comedy)2. The Christ era.3. Nope. Between healthcare and other financial atrocities it will be a fiasco.4. Shurmur5. Rome, to get to Sicily, see The Vatican, Tuscany, etc.

These are all fun questions! Looks like something to look forward to every week on this board.

1) Tavon Austin -- I think he's going to be a tremendous player and be a catalyst for the Rams making the playoffs this year if he can stay fairly healthy. I would have loved to see him in a Browns uniform because I think he would have led this offense to a level we haven't seen since the glory days of the 80s. Austin is going to drive defenses batty and he is a better version of Desean Jackson. I like Travis Benjamin, but Austin is a level above him in overall ability, in my view.

2) I like the 1960s -- America was on top, quality of life was reasonably good, and there was plenty of opportunity to make something of yourself in this nation. I wouldnt not have wanted to live in an era when people didn't brush their teeth or take a shower.

3) Am optimistic about it, and should work out unless we have a major global meltdown due to a disastrous cyberattack. We need to do more re cyber security in this nation. I worry this is the next Pearl Harbor.

4) Butch Davis, Butch Davis, Butch Davis. Who was that obscure LB he took in the second round that turned out to be another bust? Can't remember his name. But even that guy was probably better than Clifford Charlton or Mike Junkin.

5) I'd go to Rome because I haven't been there. But if you haven't been to Europe, take Paris, probably the greatest city I've ever visited. Had a fantastic time there and the food and drink are so good its otherworldly.

1. Calvin2. 60s or 70s, probably the latter as less chance of getting drafted for that shit hole war for one reason.3. Expectations, no, relatively solid hopes, yes, for the parts I can control. Which means it won't happen once our government reads this thread.4. Too many to list.5. Paris, it's so romantic.

Criminals in this town used to believe in things...honor, respect."I heard your dog is sick, so bought you this shovel"

2. This one. I already know what happened in those other ones. (I don't have to have shit plugged into my ears at all times, tweet, and take pictures of my food with my camera phone, and stupid shit like that as a result of my pick, though, do I?)

3. Yes, thanks to Dulcolax.

4. I hated Mangini the most, but he certainly wasn't the worst. Probably Romeo, as irresistibly huggable as he may still be.

1: Phil Dawson - we got WAY to used to him2: Now is pretty cool. I like living "in the future"3: Yes...thanks to my TESLA stock4: SHUR - and it's not even close. That guy is the worst coach I've ever seen in any sport at any level. Except for that pederast at Penn St. and the guy who smoked crack and did lines during the halftime of Cleveland State B-ball games5: Rome is nice for the food/history, Munich's got the brew, but Paris is the best city on Earth besides NY and maybe Prague. If I got to stay anywhere for several months it'd be Prague.

2. 1950. By all accounts, a pretty cool decade. Would be 1960, but I probably get drafted into the service, so that is out, same reason for 1940. 1930 is the depression. 1920 would be a close second. 70's on are too recent.

3. No

4. Shurmer- no contest.

5. Munich. Already been to Rome, no desire to go to Paris, Munich wins. I would also love to check out the sights/buildings of the '72 Olympics, one of the more historical Olympic games for a variety of reasons.

1. Clay Matthews2. The 70's. Great Music, a lot less gov't bullshit because everybody was too busy hating Nixon and laughing at Ford and Carter, every other woman had hair down to her ass (this is important to me), sexual revolution was in full swing, I could get a 69 Boss 302 for about $3 and I get to watch Brian Sipe again.3. Only if I win the lottery.4. Brian FUCKING Daboll. My dead dog could've put together a more competent offense than that functioning retard.5. Rome. I'm Italian and I can go visit some cousins.

Love the Brian Daboll pick for worst coach! I had forgotten about him. Brigns back very bad memories.At least having Norv Turner on board is a big plus for the Browns. Comparing Turner vs. Daboll is like comparing a Porsche vs. a VW Beetle.

First off, it's beautiful. Just a gorgeous old town section. As nice as Paris, but cheaper. Great walking city, although the underground is easy to use too. Most people speak English since they figured out early on that not many people outside of their country speak Czech. Unlike Paris, the people are happy to have you there. They know the tourist trade has really bolstered their economy (which eliminated one of the great perks from when I first went in 1994, which would be how cheap it was). Beer is GOOD. Food is good. I hear it has a really good night life, although all we did was hang around on the Charles Bridge and drink (many do that). Many vices can easily be scratched too, if you want - there are casinos and absinthe and hash/pot/whores are supposed to be easy to get.

But, really, just google-images Prague and that should be enough of a selling point.
